How to Use Colour for Branding

Colour is very important in attracting customers' attention. In branding, particularly, it plays a very crucial role. The image below is the branding mockup of an app we made known as Pocket Thesis.

4. Finally double-check how your coloured branding material looks on the Web and on print. Sometimes colours that you see on the Web or in Photoshop may not necessarily look same on print.
